Chapter 214: Reloading and Heading North
The pipa strings say that acacia, when the bright moon was there, and the clouds returned. ----------Northern song dynasty. Yan Jidao "Linjiang Immortals, Dream Queen's Towers and High Locks"
Speaking of the early morning, Chen Long and Tong Feifei woke up from a fragrant dream, and were in the middle of the day, loving and loving, when suddenly there was a bang in the compound, like a thunderbolt, which scared Tong Feifei stupidly, covered his clothes and said in surprise: "On a sunny day, where is the thunderbolt?" ”
Chen Long had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and sure enough, Zhuge Liang's slightly childish voice came from afar, cheering: "Blow up, blow up!" It worked! ”
Chen Long was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly got up and dressed, didn't care about freshening up, and ran directly to Zhuge Liang's small courtyard.
Chen Long flew into the small courtyard developed by Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, and just happened to see a thick white smoke rising from the masonry circle in the middle of the courtyard. Behind the white smoke, two half-grown children suddenly appeared, take a closer look, who are Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang?
Both children are furious, with black faces covered in charcoal, like indigenous children in Africa. Chen Long laughed and said, "Didn't you grasp the safe distance, right?" ”
Zhuge Liang wiped his face, and saw that Huang Yueying's already dark skin had all been blackened, so he smiled and took a hand towel to wipe it for Huang Yueying. The two of them showed their white faces slightly, looked at Chen Long and shouted, "Lord! Fortunately, it is not disgraceful! ”
Chen Long couldn't help but smile and praised, and asked people to bring warm water, but he didn't expect Zhuge and Yueying to be so diligent in the morning, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart. looked at the well circle and said: "However, this power is still small, and even the well circle has not been blown down, that is, the level of the pyrotechnic master, if the power is great, the faces of the two of you will not only be black, but they will all be blown up." ”
Huang Yueyingqi said: "So powerful? What is a pyrotechnician? ”
Chen Long knew that he had slipped his mouth, and said nonsense: "The pyrotechnic master is the master who can make simple mixtures. This success shows that you have made progress in your blending, and continued research should increase the power. However, how did you start the fire? ”
Zhuge Liang made a throwing gesture and said, "That's how to throw the fire fold in and see if it will explode." It turned out that it was basically burned, but this time it exploded directly. ”
Long Chen smiled, thinking that he was really to blame himself, he didn't tell them how to start the fire safely, but fortunately, because of the ratio of ingredients, the power of this * is very small. hurriedly said: "Try to stay away as much as possible in the future, find some cover or something." By the way, it is better to use some coarse cloth, sprinkle some charcoal powder in it, roll it into a long and thin cylinder, bury one end in the *, and pull down the courtyard gate at the other end, you use the fire fold to light that end, and the charcoal will keep burning, you can observe it from a distance. ”
Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying both nodded frequently, and at this time, Tong Feifei also groped in, and saw that the two children's little faces were black and white, so they hurriedly cleaned them, and by the way, they glanced at the black things in the well circle, and muttered: "What are you doing?" Why is it so loud in the dark? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "This is *ah!" If you blow it up, you can blow up the city gate, and it will be our siege weapon in the future! Huang Yueying also nodded excitedly, and Tong Feifei hurriedly boasted: "This great achievement, my sister wrote it down for your lord!" Tong Feifei has always forbidden them to call them the housewife, saying that if they feel that they are born, they will call them sisters, and they look young.
A few days later, the preparations for the northward journey were basically completed, and Chen Long set a date for departure. The beautiful wives of the three kingdoms were naturally sad and wanted to separate, only Tong Feifei was beaming. The beautiful wife group led by Zhang Ning immediately rebelled, made an agreement with Chen Long for three chapters, asked him to return with Cai Yan as soon as possible, and formulated a lottery method to fairly decide the next wife who would accompany Chen Long out, which made him happy. Chen Long is in the midst of all beauties, naturally painful and enjoyable; The pain is the gossip of the beauties, the noisy black smoke miasma; Naturally, everyone is beautiful, and they have the ability to make them happy and chatter.
Before leaving, in the Xiangyang military meeting, the team of the original Lingling Qinglong Army First Group Army was concentrated, in addition to Zhao Yun, Fu Zhu, Guo Jia, Zhou Budo and his wife Zhang Ning, there were more Lu Su and Shamoke who came from Jiangling to see off the lord, as well as Gan Ning, Zhu Huan, and Gao Pei, the generals of the Xiangyang and Jiangling naval armies. Most of the original generals of the Liu Biao Group are still following Liu Biao to fight Jiangxia, Chen Long is waiting for the complete differentiation of the Liu Biao Group, and no one has been able to gain Chen Long's trust this time.
At the military meeting, Chen Long took the lead in speaking, and naturally carried forward the set of strategic theories published in Shuijing Villa again, the so-called "Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, and the land of Tianfu is the land of abundance, and Gaozu has become an emperor because of it." Liu Yan is old, Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are rich and the country is rich but does not know how to save it, and the wise man thinks of Mingjun. I implement benevolent government, recruit the displaced people, recuperate with them, reasonably strengthen the army, write in the four seas, dominate the heroes of the world, think of the virtuous as thirsty, if there are thorns and benefits, protect its rock resistance, the west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue; When there is a change in the world, he ordered a general to lead the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. If so, then the hegemony can be achieved, and the royal industry can be prosperous. ”
After listening to this, Guo Jia squinted his eyes and said, "It turns out that what the lord wants most next is Yizhou." Zhou Budo said: "Then Liu Yan is so hateful, he is a relative of the Han family, he is a powerful man in Yizhou, and he wanted to join Liu Biao to annex Lingling last time, but fortunately, Xi Zhicai used his troops wisely, otherwise he might have succeeded." ”
All the generals nodded one after another, and everyone had no opinion on hitting Liu Yan first, but everyone didn't know how many troops they needed to fight Yizhou and what kind of route they would take. It was the first time for Lu Su to have such a high-level military meeting with the Lord, and after thinking about it, he immediately said: "My lord, attacking Yizhou, my Jiangling is naturally the front line, but the Yizhou Mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and the most convenient is of course to go upstream." However, the waterway will inevitably encounter heavy military interception, and it will take time for our naval army to be created. ”
Gao Pei also said: "Even if you transport troops by water, the marching route in Yizhou needs to be planned in detail, otherwise you can't finish the large and small passes and plank roads in Yizhou, let alone march while fighting." ”
Long Chen nodded and said, "Exactly." Therefore, spy personnel are needed, and while everyone is safe and sound, they will explore the road in Yizhou, and after I leave, Zhang Ning will be in charge of this matter, and Zhou Budo will assist in arranging everything. ”
Zhang Ning and Zhou Budo nodded in understanding, and Chen Long got up and said, "Before I come back, I ask all units to be ready for battle, but they must not reveal the target of the attack. The crowd roared to their feet and said yes.
Chen Long continued: "Since Hankou City has begun to take shape, with Changsha Huang Da Ge in charge, and new warships, the situation in Jiangxia should be able to stabilize for the time being. However, in order to prevent drastic changes in the situation, it is necessary to have troops that can respond at any time, and this matter is in charge of the Xiangyang Navy Army, which is under the unified command and dispatch of Zilong, and is assisted by Frustration. Zhao Yun and Fu Zhu nodded one after another.
Frustratedly said: "Jiangxia Huangzu and Sun Ce live in two separate cities, if they are pressed, they will be together, and if they are slow, they will fight, and they will observe first. Long Chen nodded and said, "Sun Ce has just broken away from Yuan Shu, and he still needs to eliminate Lu Kang as soon as possible to avoid changes." Therefore, it is estimated that Sun Ce may leave Jiangxia with his troops at any time. Once the information is accurate, the military division, Zilong, do not need to ask me, immediately formulate a plan, and cooperate with Huang Zhong to attack Jiangxia. ”
After Chen Long finished arranging, he saw that Guo Jia was silent, and finally looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, I went to Chang'an this time, and I always couldn't rest assured about one thing." There are many young children in these big families in Xiangyang, and I heard that they are quite talented. Now that Yin Mo is still in Lingling, the heavy responsibility of selecting good talents will be handed over to you, and when I come back, the second imperial examination will be held immediately, this is a major event to stabilize Jingxiang, do you understand?"
Guo Jia naturally understood that letting the children of these scholars become important military and political officials in Jingzhou was an important measure to quickly pacify Jingzhou. However, the most important thing here is to carefully screen the loyal traitors, so the lord makes himself in charge. However, the promotion of meritocracy is also to make himself a mentor to Xiangyang officials, and to lay a good foundation for his future accumulation of higher prestige. As soon as he thought of this, Guo Jia's heart swept over the words of Gong Gao Zhenzhu, and when he looked at Chen Long's eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
The great rivers and mountains of Jingzhou have since been owned by Chen Long. It's a pity that Jiangxia was guarded by Huang Zu and Sun Ce, but Chen Long took his toes and knew that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both aiming at Jiangdong, and it was not too late to wait for Sun Ce to leave Jiangxia and then clean up Huang Zu. At the end of the meeting, Chen Long took Zhang Ning's little hand and instructed on the way home: "I heard that the yellow turban in the north is rising again, especially in the Shouchun area, you can increase the spy force in the Xuzhou area, who is in charge of the people in each city and county, what changes have occurred, and what the strength is, I want to keep abreast of it." Zhang Ning understood the point of Chen Long's words, nodded frequently, and Chen Long spent the night by Mrs. Ning's side.
Early the next morning, Chen Long rode a flying dragon horse, said goodbye to his wives, and was about to go on the road, when suddenly Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying also came to see him off, Huang Yueying had a roll of silk cloth in his hand, stuffed in Chen Long's hand, and said in a coquettish voice: "Lord, what you promised last time was to hand over to me the knowledge of carpentry structure, but unfortunately it was never realized." I've hand-drawn a drawing here, and you're going to have to help me take a look at it on the way! ”
Chen Long hurriedly agreed, but he didn't expect Huang Yueying to still be obsessed with carpentry, remembering that Yueying had liked to make wooden dogs and wooden figures since she was a child, and asked kindly: "Yueying, can you tell me what drawings you draw?"
Huang Yueying's ponytail shook, revealing her cute tiger teeth and said: "I haven't thought of a good name....... my brothers call it a wooden cow and a flowing horse!" ”
Chen Long's hand holding the drawings was shocked, and he looked at Yueying in amazement, this famous wooden ox and flowing horse blueprint was actually in his own hands, it was really unpredictable and incredible.
After crossing the river, it was Fancheng, Chen Long and his party had two carriages, and the rest were riding horses. Gan Ning escorted all the way to the outskirts of Fancheng and said goodbye and retreated. Only the special forces around him remained, and the flying dragon horse was full of spirit, highlighting Chen Longzhi's high profile this time. Long Chen commanded, the whole
The horse team changed direction slightly, chose an avenue, and went straight to Wancheng first.
